If I Was Suge and I was Exec. Pro. "Tha Dogg Father" I would've...

great album.  easily snoops 2nd best and miles ahead of his 3rd best.

Can't agree with this at all. The last meal and topp dogg were just as good if not better.

They were close but not as good as Doggfather. Remember they had these wack ass No Limit tracks on there like "Down 4 My Niggaz" and all the other bullshit.

Shit slaps

"Top Dogg" is Snoop's weakest album if u want tha truth.  "Da Game Is To Be Sold And Not To Be Told" is a way better album and "Tha Last Meal" was more "advanced" for a Snoop Dogg album in it's time (i remember that album like it came out yesterday), it was the baby of Real Snoop Dogg, Funk-Homage Snoop Dogg (u know he's always on that shit, especially in that time frame), Hard Hitter Snoop Dogg, and No Limit Snoop Dogg all rolled into 1 (blunt).  


I loved "Tha Doggfather" when I first heard it all of tha way thru like that but IMO I can't really say it was all that impressive and tha mark it's left in time goes unnoticed (like what goes on today that takes u back to that album, like what's the reference?, he never really ever talks about that album - never!).  You would've figured from all of tha tales from album and that time period (especially in tha days that it was released) it would be more of a "milestone" for Calvin than anything.  


Truth be told tho, in real life society, it was an okay album (a lot better with a little age on it) but it doesn't resonate with you like it should've (which I think was done on purpose).  Honestly, an album like I mentioned in tha 1st place would've made Snoop's catalog slightly more prestige.  Suge tried too hard to get that November release date when really he should've been more focused on tha content and tha quality rather than the hype (it would've worked out better, imo you could see that from a mile away)...sophmore jinx??

if you take off them no limit joints on top dogg and tha last meal and add some west coast heaters both were classics.

the album's great as it is.

This.
DJ Pooh, Daz and Sam Sneed brought out some of the best shit their production discography has to offer. Though one thing I would've changed is adding a track produced by DJ Quik as well as that joint with Shaq & Mista Grimm and getting the thing mixed by either Cold 187um or Dr. Dre. Having Snoop replace a few verses with lines D.O.C. & RBX might've left is something I'd consider too.

at that time quik shoulda been on there. someone needs to ask snoop about that.
